Just been on Twitter and the amount of people talking about the team selection was what reminded me that England were playing. Can't be bothered with another borefest, rather watch Lethal Weapon I think - the world's biggest Mel Gibson fan, my Mum has brought the whole box set :lol:

I've just tuned in, I can't say I'm all that bothered. Yet, I am surprised to see it's still 0-0..

Game on (hopefully) :D

I'm in a state of utter shock having witnessed one entertaining half of football involving England!


 


First half we had Joe hart to thank for keeping us in it, second half - at times we played some decent football but not enough. Still the same system - too defensive really.


 


Shame we cant go and get results against top sides when it actually means something

Yes James,  I wish England would 'have a go' a bit more. I don't mean abandon defense but play more forward passes and switch play about a bit.


Brazil are not the team they were in the 60's and 70's and I wish the commentators would stop going on about them as if they are.


A better performance tonight but I'm not sure if Roy Hodgson learned anything from it. :unsure:

Decent second half following a dire first half. Two very good England goals.

I gave up, ended up having a bath. It wasn't all that interesting, which was made harder by Andy Townsend.

Well taken tap in!! - Yeah right!

Surprised we took the lead by what I had seen. Not surprised we let it slip, Brazil didn't play all that well, people moaning about us. They should have slaughtered us!

second half was defiantly better, think we play way defensively.

was not impressed with us or them, we need to get back to playing quick football and make use of having good forwards. why is it when we have them, we do not use them?

I watched this in my local.

You would have thought we was playing a team, we should have beaten. When there first goal went in, people around me became quite vocal. It was all different by time we took the lead and quickly back to before when level. I do not rate this England team, the older players are holding back some of the youngsters. I didn't fancy our midfield, as poor Ronney could not have done much more.

The disappointing part, is we held the play nicely but did nothing on the breaks!

When we looked dangerous, we fell flat and although a much better second half. Neither teams should leave feeling they gave 100%, only a few players could leave feeling like this.

I also didn't understand why they took the Chelsea lad Oscar off?
